This creation is a part of the B.C. Open Textbook project.The B.C. Open Textbook project began in 2012 with the goal of making post-secondary education in British Columbia more accessible by reducing student cost through the use of openly licensed textbooks. The B.C. Open Textbook project is administered by BCcampus and funded by the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education.Open textbooks are open educational resources (OER); they are instructional resources created and shared in ways so that more people have access to them. This is a different model than traditionally copyrighted materials. OER are defined as teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others (Hewlett Foundation).Our open textbooks are openly licensed using a Creative Commons license, and are offered in various e-book formats free of charge, or as printed books that are available at cost.For more information about this project, please contact opentext@bccampus.ca.If you are an instructor who is using this book for a course, please let us know.2AcknowledgmentsThese books were developed on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Huy tseep q’u! Chen kw’enmántumiyap! Kw’as hoy!I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on this project alongside a dedicated team of basic education instructors from across British Columbia. This series was shepherded by Leanne Caillier-Smith (College of the Rockies) and benefited enormously from the insight and encouragement of Julia Dodge (University of the Fraser Valley), Chandra McCann (Okanagan College), Jan Weiten (Vancouver Community College), and Melinda Worfolk (College of New Caledonia). The above five mentioned are representatives of the BC Adult Literacy Articulation Committee and were the advisory committee members for this project. It has been a pleasure to scaffold my own learning among such brilliant and passionate educators.Huge thanks to Lauri Aesoph of BCcampus for introducing me to the exciting open textbook movement and managing all aspects of the publication of these books — from layout and image selection to copyediting and print — so adeptly.I am incredibly lucky to work with and have the support of the Basic Education Department at Vancouver Community College: Rita Acton, Cynthia Bluman, Andrew Candela, Lynn Horvat, Alayna Kruger, Jo Lemay, Edie Mackenzie, Rene Merkel, Tara Mollel, Leah Rasmussen, Linda Rider, Mary Thompson-Boyd, Jan Weiten, and our Dean, David Wells. I am also deeply grateful to the basic education students at Vancouver Community College for all that you teach me about dreams, resilience, and perseverance.A special thank you to my partner, Marria, for always lending my words an eager ear, and for keeping the world around me turning even though my head was perpetually stuck in these books.3Notes to the InstructorThe poetry of Langston Hughes has an appeal that reaches from the carpets of kindergarten classrooms to the lecture halls of universities. There is elegance in its simplicity. That is why I chose to make the life and poetry of Langston Hughes the central focus of this course pack and its accompanying reader.This level 2 course pack, one of a series of six course packs, is roughly equivalent to Grades 1.5 to 3 in the K-12 system. It is designed to accompany the BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 2. This reader contains eight chapters written specifically for adults. The chapters take a journey through Langston Hughes’ family history and personal life. I have included excerpts from many of Hughes’ poems. I encourage you to locate full versions of these poems in books or on the web, as full versions could not be published in these books for copyright reasons. During this unit, I also recommend reading Hughes’ excellent short story Thank You, Ma’am with your students.For an overview of the contents of this course pack, please refer to the Level 2 Scope & Sequence in Appendix 2.The online version of the course pack contains audio recordings of each story in the reader. These recordings, combined with vocabulary and word pattern exercises, prepare the Level 2 student to read each chapter with greater independence.Depending on a learner’s readiness, you may wish to use the sentences in the Word Pattern sections as dictations.I recommend using these books alongside a structured phonics program, such as the Wilson Reading System.Font size and line spacing can be adjusted in the online view, and have been enhanced for the print and PDF versions for easier reading. This reader has been reviewed by subject experts from colleges and universities.I hope these pages help ignite in your students a lifelong love of poetry and prose.-Shantel Ivits1Chapter 1Learning GoalsIn this chapter, you will learn to:Read sight words and functional wordsRead long /e/ word patternsRead simple textsIdentify main ideas, characters, and events from a readingState your opinion on a readingUse end punctuationTalk About ItHow is a poem like a song?How is a poem not like a song?Do you know the names of any poets?Do you know the names or words of any poems?Picture Dictionarypoemwriter-795286_640globe-32299_640poempoetworldeyes-149670_640blackcandy-575439_640eyesblacktreatcommunity-150124_640alivewhitepeoplealivewhiteclock-359985_640timePut the above words in alphabetical order.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Check your work with the Answer Key at the end of this chapter.Make a sentence using one of the above words.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ask your instructor to check your work.Word SkillsWord PatternsThe letters a, e, i, o, and u are called vowels.

I am a musician.I am short dresses in every colour in a shopping mall. We are Gucci blue jeans in a nightclub. I am a light cotton t-shirt at the beach. I am a button-up dress shirt with a tie. I clean up good. I am a shiny evening dress in a casino.We are dressed sharp …….. I am awesome.I hope to be a secretary in a high school. We hope to be cops drinking coffee in Tim Hortons. I hope to be a cook in a five-star hotel. I hope to be the boss of my own construction company. I hope to be a lawyer in family law.We are positive …….. I am sure.I dream that I am swimming in piles of money. I dream once in a blue moon. I dream that my kids finish school. We have deja-vu dreams. We hate it. I dream I am making money, and making it on my own. I dream my grandma is alive and she’s cooking for me.We are dreamers …….. I am dreaming of the future.2Appendix 2: Level 2 Scope and SequenceFor detailed information on the contents of each chapter in this course pack, please refer to the Level 2 Scope and Sequence document.
